Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Lionel Messi scored his first goal since the death of his father, Jorge Messi, during Inter Miami's 2 to 2 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. Messi scored the goal in the 26th minute, cutting inside from the right side of the area and shooting across the goal. This marked his first goal since Jorge Messi passed away at age 68 on August 8 in Rosario, Argentina. Following the goal, Messi pointed to the sky and was embraced by his teammates in an emotional celebration. In addition to his goal, Messi provided an assist for Daniel Pinter's goal, which helped Inter Miami temporarily take a 2 to 1 lead after falling behind early in the match. Messi now has 13 goals in the MLS this season. The match concluded with a chaotic finish that included two red cards issued to Yannick Bright of Inter Miami and Quinn Sullivan of the Philadelphia Union. Inter Miami currently sits in second place in the Eastern Conference with 39 points.
